Risk management is an often used phrase that is rarely fully embedded within the business process and procedures of firms. This text looks at the challenges faced in implementing a risk management framework as well as the key elements of such a framework. It is designed for the business professional that is not an expert in risk management and addresses all of the major risks that are likely to be faced in practice, considering the risk mitigation and measurement techniques that are most likely to be relevant. This is an intermediate text and accordingly does not focus on the mathematical elements but rather provides a readable entry text for anyone seeking information on this important subject.
